Greece

I recently spent 3 days in Thessaloniki situated along the north of Greece. There are few places in the world where the evidence of colliding empires is so vivid as this particular city. With over 2,300 years of civilisation, this region has been home to …

There was so much to do in Milos, Greece: beaches, catacombs, museums, swings, food and more. One particular beach was unlike anything we had seen before. In fact, we would consider it one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. Find out which one.

In April and May 2014 we had the joy of visiting 5 beautiful islands in the Cyclades. I never expected to be so completely flummoxed by the raw, natural beauty of these heavenly locations. It was simply a life-changing experience. So come with me on a pho…

Greek food rapidly moved into number one position for my husband and came close to my undeniable adoration of Mexican. What was it exactly that made us fall in love? Well massive apologies in advance, but this is going to make your mouth water. Big time!

Like any major world city Athens can be hectic and overwhelming, especially when you mix in the local “organised chaos” way of doing things. But beneath its fast-paced metropolitan exterior is a city oozing with history, dating back thousands of years to …

Join us on our food tour of Paros. With over half a million tourists visiting each year, Paros caters to a very wide range of tastes. The best food treasures are usually found off the tourist trail, in the smaller towns. So asking a local where their favo…

Join us on our food tour of Ios! This island is widely regarded as the party island of the Cyclades, however it certainly is very family friendly as well. As such, the cuisine in tourist-centric locations are often aimed at delivering a taste of home wher…

Join us on our food tour of Milos! Many of the restaurants on Milos were designed with families and young children in mind by providing playgrounds and toys. These are a godsend for parents looking for a little peace and quiet. Being a bigger island than …

Join us on our food tour of Sifnos! Like Kythnos, there was an abundance of fresh, locally grown produce on Sifnos and it could be tasted on the plate. The time-tested traditions and mountains of love that went into each dish we tasted were evident. We we…

Join us on our food tour of Kythnos! It was impressive how for such a small island Kythnos offered a wide range of locally grown fresh produce. And I particularly loved the restaurants that grew their own food on a family farm – the difference was tangibl…

When people come to Greece for the summer it is usually with Santorini in mind, or perhaps Corfu, Mykonos or Crete. Relatively little is known about the other 18 major Cycladic islands. After briefly visiting Crete last year we wanted to come back and see…

Everyone recognises Greece. From it's gods, to it's ancient architecture, to it's scenic and beautiful islands. We managed a quick stop on a cruise last year and decided we had to head back and discover more of Greece.

When we left Perth, Australia in May 2012 little did we know how long we would be gone for. After what has felt like a real vacation we are finally solidifying our plans for 2014. We leave Perth on 15th April 2014 returning to the unknown. Sensibly, we ha…
